Shotgun for hunting

http://www.cabelas.com/product/Mossb...bos/706421.uts

Is that a good shotgun for hunting? Just want some opinions on it. I would be using it for deer, turkey, squirrel, etc.

Thanks,
Zach

How, when, where, are you hunting?

i lean towards remingtons myself, but there is nothing wrong with the mossberg, but when set your first 3.5" mag off in that 7lbs mossy you will not forget it. but it will do the jobs you have in store for its use. eastbank.

Nothing wrong with it. Unless you really need to use 3.5" shells then save yourself some money and buy the 500 combo.

Unless you are going goose or swan hunting I would get a 3" chamber 500 combo. Less money and shorter stroke. I prefer Remingtons, but the Mossberg is a solid choice also.
